I made a mistake at this point. This issue hasn't yet
mentioned in this draft. But note that this simple
cookie authentication mechanism has already implemented
in LIN6 so that every LIN6 node can notify his addresses to
his correspondent securely.
There is a paper on this cookie authentication mechanism 
submitted by LIN6 developers. But, unfortunately, this is
in japanese only.

I'm not sure whether the LIN6 draft will be updated or not.
